AK2557
4ch Cathode Common LDD with Digital APC
1. General Description
The AK2557 is a 4-channel cathode common LDD (Laser Diode Driver) suitable for MFPs (Multi Function
Printer) and LBPs (Laser Beam Printer). The AK2557 equips a 200MHz [Max.] LDD that switches the LD
current, current-DACs that set the operation current of LD and a feed-back digital APC (Auto Power
Control) circuit that maintains the optical LD power constant. The AK2557 can improve the printing quality
and reduces external parts and the cost with useful functions such as the internal APC adjustment,
BIAS_APC (Auto “Ibias” Setting), LD Power Attenuation and Shading Correction with digital interface
achieving with the internal arithmetic circuits. Multiple AK2557s can be connected to the multi-beams LD
(≥ 8 beams).
